ADOT Adaptive Ramp Metering on SR101L
Description
This project enhances the existing ramp metering capabilities to improve throughput and reduce congestion by controlling access onto the freeway using real-time data. Adaptive ramp metering balances traffic volumes on the local arterials, considers queues on the entrance ramps and monitors freeway conditions. The arterials, freeway, and ramps are equipped with detectors that collect traffic data which is processed using complex algorithms This project converts the existing system to adaptive ramp metering in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area.
